Cognitive biometrics holds great promise for adding two-factor authentication without placing a tremendous burden on the user. In this project, we will participate in a demonstration of Passfaces.
1) Use your Web browser to go to www.passfaces.com/demo.
2) Under First Time Users enter the requested information and click Click to Enroll.
3) Click Click to continue. After reading the information that appears, click OK.
4) Accept demo as the name and click OK.
5) When asked click Next to enroll now.
6) When the Enroll in Passfaces dialog box appears, click Next.
7) Look closely at the three faces you are presented with. After you feel familiar with the faces, click Next.
8) You will then be asked to think of associations with the first face (who they may look like or who they may remind you of). Follow each step with the faces and click Next after each face.
9) When Step 2 Practice Using Passfaces dialog box appears, click Next.
10) You will then select your faces from three separate screens, each of which has nine total faces. Click on the face (which is also moving as a hint).
11) You can practice one more time. Click Next.
12) When the Step 3 Try Logging On with Passphrases dialog box appears, click Next. Identify your faces and click Next.
After you identify all the faces correctly, you will see a well done screen appear. Press Next to try logging on one final time.
13) Click Done and then click OK.
14) Click Try Passfaces and then click Login.
15) Click OK under the username and identify your faces.
After you successfully identify the faces, you will see “CONGRATULATIONS! You Have Successfully Logged On”, as shown below.
16) Is this type of cognitive biometrics effective? If you came back to this site tomorrow would you remember the three faces?
17) Close all windows when finished.
Reflection
I think this type of cognitive biometrics is effective as I do not need to remember any password. I also don’t need to worry whether I lost my password and all I need to do is to just remember the secret faces will do. If I come back to this site tomorrow, I think I will remember the three faces.
